How do I use minimalist, barely there in a diffuser?

Add Lemon 6 · Cypress 2 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.

What can I use instead of lemon?

Swap lemon for sweet orange or bergamot — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: sweet orange is ripe, sweet, cheerful and round.

When is the best time to use minimalist, barely there?

Use it after cooking or cleaning, in the bathroom, near the shoe cabinet, or in rooms shared with pets.

Minimalist, barely there · Lemon, Cypress blend

Minimalist living calls for a minimalist scent. Twelve drops of lemon bring a bright, clear feeling, and five drops of cypress underneath add a light green-wood note, so the room seems to have no smell at all, just cleaner air. A sparsely furnished living room or an all-white home office is the ideal spot. 4 drops each time is enough for a room of any size.

How it unfolds

On opening. Lemon (fresh, bright and clean) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Cypress (fresh, dry and clean like conifer wood) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. With no woody or resin base note, this blend fades fairly quickly — switch it on again after 1–2 hours to keep the room scented.

Method

Diffuser

Lemon 6 · Cypress 2 drops in 200–300 ml of water. Run for 30–60 minutes, then take a break.
